Technology Thoughts

     I am not very familiar with many of these technology tools.  They all seem pretty straightforward and useful though.  I especially like the bookmark folder feature; I never knew that was a thing and it would have been very useful in the past.  I now have a bookmarked folder just for this class; it makes my homepage look a lot tidier.  This online environment is pretty different from all other courses I have taken.  In all my other classes, I have used Canvas to write discussion posts and interact with my peers.  I think I am already starting to prefer this platform.  It's pretty cool to have your own page, and the labels keep the blog posts extremely organized.  There are no specific web skills that I would like to work on.  I'm not super great with computers, so I already feel as though I am learning just by using Blogger and following the instructions from the week 1 Orientation.  I am looking forward to my continued improvement with little things here and there that I may be able to use after I graduate.  I wish I had more browser tips to recommend, but sadly I do not.  As I said, I feel as though I have been learning more about my browser than I ever have before in just the past few days.  It's pretty exciting to apply things that I know I will use in the future!

Introduction to myself

    Hello! My name is Christian.  My major is biology and I transferred into OU from a small school in Memphis.  Originally my major was Civil Engineering, but it took me about a month to realize I really didn't enjoy those classes and I did not want to think about concrete the rest of my life.  I picked biology for the simple reason that it was the subject that interested me the most; I really had no idea what I would want to do with a degree in biology.  It's still been hard for me to truly decide what I'd like to do after college, seeing as I always knew I wouldn't want to do medical school or some other long, arduous program.  Just recently I have become more fascinated with the growing field of biotechnology.  I'm looking to move in that direction after I graduate.      Growing up, I loved sports.  I was on competitive teams for basketball and baseball.  It wasn't uncommon for my teams to travel across Oklahoma and sometimes into adjacent states.  As I gre

My Favorite Place: Cairns, Australia

Image
Ten years ago I traveled to Australia with my brother, father, and grandfather.  Several years before this trip, my grandfather had saved up his money to support my sick grandmother if she needed to have extended stays in a hospital or nursing home.  Sadly, her health deteriorated quickly and she passed away before she ever needed assisted living in a nursing home. My grandfather, having saved a fair sum of money, decided he wanted to take his grandchildren traveling around the world.  This trip to Australia would be the first of several travels outside of the United States.  Though we traveled to several cities within Australia, including Sydney, I remember the city of Cairns as my favorite stop on the trip.  In fact, I now remember it as my favorite place.  It was a beach town, with beautiful white sand beaches and delicious sea food.  I was able to snorkel around the Great Barrier Reef with my brother and father, and we even spotted a small shark.  To this day, I know for a fact tha
